I dunno if saying that moving to a place that has a possibility of getting hit by a hurricane is better than a place that has shitty weather 7 months out of the year is really a valid argument. Especially if you’re renting. If you rent an apartment you pay $100 in renters insurance for 6 months and just get the fuck out if a hurricane is coming. I do agree that Buffalo and Rochester aren’t horrible places and do have a lot to offer people but I dunno if the weather is one of those things unless you really like being cold. ---

Renters insurance in a high hurricane risk is not $100 every 6 months, i was paying like $400 every 6 months oh and you won’t be back if you don’t want to be, 6 months is not a good time frame to see if you actually like a place, well unless its FL ---

Absolutely. And being close to Moab for Mountain Biking… :tup: I’ll be done with school in a few years, with a B.S. in Resort Management. We shall see where life takes me at that point, but next summer, and then for the subsequent 3 years, I’ll be living in Rutland, VT. ---

It took like 15 hours to get here, because of the moving truck not being able to maintain speed up the hills and having to stop because we have 2 puppies. Everyone says the hurricanes… My brother in-law said that by the time the huricanes get to this area its just like any other rain storm like in buffalo but the insureance is still expensive. some of the reasons why I think I’m going to like it here: 2.5 hours away are some really nice ski resorts which would blow away KB and Holiday combined… and cheaper too. 2.5 hours away is the ocean if I feel like salt water 4 Hours away is Atlanta, I’d like to go to NOPI In SC, no tint laws, no safty/emission inspections, DMV is way better and faster, no front plate, I’ll be able to drive my car all year around… so more autoX events to attend Its 92 outside right now… but still feels more comfortable than 82 in buffalo I may move back… but I just want to check out a new area for now ---

Appallachian Mountain in NC has a kicking park, but they ski on basically ALL man-made snow, as natural snowfall is quite low there and have subpar snow conditions. But glad you like it down there though! ---
